The ceramics industry uses a lot of energy in terms of LP gas, furnace oil, kerosene and electricity. High energy prices in Sri Lanka increases the cost of production and the industry constantly struggles to maintain competitive prices against competing countries, President, Sri Lanka Ceramics and Glass Council (SLCGC), Anura Warnakulasooriya said.

Replacing the volatile and flammable liquid or polymer electrolytes now used in lithium-ion batteries with inorganic solid-state lithium-ionic ceramic conductors could significantly improve both safety and performance of the cells. Solid-state conductors would allow for novel cathode and anode chemistry, prevent the growth of Li-metal dendrites and push miniaturization.

Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for developing internal electrical shorts that can ignite a battery's liquid electrolytes, leading to explosions and fires. Engineers at the University of Illinois have developed a solid polymer-based electrolyte that can self-heal after damage -- and the material can also be recycled without the use of harsh chemicals or high temperatures.
